IRQ#

/IRQ

Signal names followed by a hashtag "#" or preceded by a forward slash "/"

indicate that this signal is either active low or that it becomes active at a

falling edge.

In/Out Signal directions in signal mnemonics tables generally refer to the

corresponding board or component, "in" meaning "to the board or

component", "out" meaning "from the board or component".

0xFF Hexadecimal numbers are preceded by "0x".

0b1111 Binary numbers are preceded by "0b".

Product Safety

Read the user manual carefully before using the product. Keep the user manual for later

reference.

Conditions for Use, Field of Application

The product is designed to function correctly in the market, application area and

environmental conditions specified in the applicable standards which are listed in the

Technical Data.

Use cases in environments exceeding the specifications in the applicable standards and

the Technical Data have to be agreed upon between MEN and the customer.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by

personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation,

in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those

who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and

avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Computer boards and components contain electrostatic sensitive devices.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To protect the PCB

and other components against damage from static electricity, follow some

precautions whenever you work on your computer.

Power down and unplug your computer system when working on the

inside.

Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads,

or circuitry.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.

Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came

with the component whenever the components are separated from the

system.

Only store the product in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain

the original packaging in case you need to return the product to MEN for

repair.

Product Compliance

MEN products are tested according to the standards given in the Technical Data and thus

enable you to achieve certification of the product according to the standards applicable

in your field of application.

If the product delivered was certified by MEN and is modified by the customer, e.g., by

installing an additional hardware component, the certification achieved by MEN

becomes invalid and may have to be repeated for the new product configuration.

RoHS

MEN is committed to develop and produce environmentally compatible products

according to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU

(formerly 2002/95/EC) of the European Union.

Since July 1, 2006 all MEN standard products comply with RoHS legislation.

REACH

MEN is a manufacturer of electronic products and thus a so-called "downstream user" in

terms of REACH. The products MEN supplies are solely non-chemical goods. Moreover

and under normal and reasonably foreseeable circumstances of application, the goods

supplied shall not release any substance.

Beyond that, according to REACH – Art.33, MEN will inform the customer immediately

should a substance contained in an MEN product (with a content of > 0.1%) be classified

alarming by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

WEEE Application

Nevertheless, MEN is registered as a manufacturer in Germany. The registration number

can be provided on request.

The WEEE directive does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The

compliance is the responsibility of the company which puts the product

on the market, as defined in the directive; components and sub-

assemblies are not subject to product compliance.

Since MEN does not deliver ready-made products to end users, the WEEE

directive is not applicable for MEN. Users are nevertheless recommended

to properly recycle all electronic boards which have passed their life cycle.
